THINK BLOG EPISODE 3
Main blogger of team Think lingermill has gone missing. However, the blogging trend should continue anyway. I've been chosen to write it for the time being.
SPICY LEAGUE 2
A lot of happened during last few weeks. Let's focus on the league 2 for now. There is -"Intriguing end to league 2 with four players competing for a promotion place and playing to avoid relegation!"- as Rankrroten, one of leader of Think said. In comfy first place is sitting pn2206. For the second place are fighting custardshark, chesscake_assasin (cool name btw) and lingermill. Some of the games were quite crazy.
SHARKY IN DEEP WATER
In this one custardshark known also as Mr. Comeback King, won first game against pn2206 that is much higher rated than him in this time format. Okay the queen was blundered due to mouseslip, but I’ve said already the games were crazy.

This was not enough to win to win the whole match though, because sharky was generous with offering his queen too. So the match ended with the score 3-2.
Jaggerdog assassinated
Meanwhile chesscake_assasin has won convincingly against jaggerdog 3-0. This game features fresh opening phase of the game, jaggerdog was doing quite fine until he rushed with pushing pawns and decided to go for "queen trade" that resulted with him losing an extra rook. As they say not all queen trades were created equal.

50 POINTS
Of course weekly budnesligas blitz battles are still going on. In the last one J3742 score whooping 50 points. I don't know if I even have scored 40 in one bundesliga. Here is the game with ... queen blunder. I guess this a theme for a blog this time - not caring about your queen. There is also nice looking mate at the end as a bonus.

THINK NEWS
Recently forum games have been added to Think. Now members of the team can have fun with a chess match and seemingly simple word association game. They've been some tricky words already though.
I was promoted to one of co leaders of Think. But that didn't stop me from trying to join a league while still being in one. Even leaders make mistakes.
Think Championship is starting very soon -18 th October. The winner is the champion of whole Think and gains eternal glory. Now is the last time to register.

P.S. i think all of us should take better care of our queens. They might be lost
forever in other case. In theory you could promote new one after that, but what about your
relationship with a previous queen? :0
